Annotation:Camptown Hornpipe (2)
Tune properties and standard notation
CAMPTOWN HORNPIPE [2]. AKA and see "Granny Will Your Dog Bite? (2)" (Pa.). Old-Time, Reel. USA, Pa. D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABB. Not the "Camptown Hornpipe (1)" in Burchenal, which is really the old country dance standard "White Cockade" married to the name of a dance called Camptown Hornpipe. Bayard (1981) collected several versions of this tune with the same or similar 'A' parts, but varying 'B' parts. See notes for "Harry Cooper" and "Granny Will Your Dog Bite? (2)" for other examples of this 'tune-patching'. Hans Nathan (Dan Emmett and Negro Minstrelsy, Univ. of Oklahoma Press, 1962, p. 93) mentions a 'Camptown Hornpipe' that was an old blackface minstrel dance or series of steps.
